Postcards from Camp by Simms Taback
A young boy named Michael writes letters back and forth with his father about his experiences at camp, explaining how much he does not like camp in the beginning and sharing how much fun he is having as time passes.
I really enjoyed this book. It tells a story of a bunch of kids that go to camp and it shows real postcards that the kids sent to their parents and that their parents sent to them. I also like that the postcards are very descriptive and are very interesting to look at.****
this a is very descriptive, colorful book i loved how there were illustrations on every page. i also loved how the parents also wrote postcards to the children.****
I liked how this book had the letters that the kid was sending from camp to his dad. I also like how the boy exaggerates some details about the camp to make it sound unpleasent. I give this book ****
This book made me laugh alot! I LOVED how Mike would send postcards to his dad, but he would ignore them all xD I really enjoyed this book. I give it **** stars :3
Mikael did not like summer camp at first but he made some friends. He turned out liking camp alot after all. He also wrote a lot of notes to his dad. I liked this book.***
I thought this was so cool. I loved how it showed them writing letters back and forth instead of telling an actual story. My favorite part was the ghost story! I give it **** stars.
I really like this story my favrite part is when he saw the littlest fish he saw in his life. its really great that he sends cards some are rude but its a great way to talk to eachother
This book seems very realistic. A lot of kids say that they won't like camp and that their parents are wrong, but then they end up having fun in the end. It was kind of weird because he Mikael was negative and his dad was positive.****
nina/silas I give this book *** stars. I liked the middle part where the fly was saying if the log turns over we'll both get drown. it was funny eapecially in the end when he says that his dad caught the smalles fish. it was tiny.
i liked this book because michele was at camp and he was sending letters back and forth to his dad. He wa trying to make it sound unpleasent and he ends up having a bunch of fun. he says he wants to go next summer! this book was funny,and i liked how the little notes were inside the envolopes thaT were attatched to the book inside!
i give this book * * * * * stars !!!
P.S. i would totally read this agian. the pictures were cool too!
dad and sneding letters back and forth they both communicate funny and his son has a fun time his dad is glad at the end the son is sad to go but wants to see his father
Ive never been to camp before but this book shows me how camp might be.At first the boy in the story didnt like camp.After a while he really enjoyed it and he did`nt want to leave.I liked reading the postcards that were sent back and forth.I give this book **** stars!:)
Postcards from Camp is a funny realistic fiction. I liked the one postcard that had Jason and Freddy Kruger on it. The boy likes to write postcards and so does his dad. This book makes me want to go to camp a little bit. The kid sounds like he wears a lot of dirty clothes because they say his breathe smells bad, he wears dirty socks and his shirt smells too. The other kids in his cabin must like writing postcards too. I really liked this book and I give it ****
this book is kinda funny and its about a son whwo thinks his camp is Horrible and his dad keeps sending him positive letters.Soon he realizes that he actually likes camp!****
I thought that this book was just about post cards but I was wrong.It was really about sending post cards from camp to your parents or other people that you know.At this camp its a really crazy camp here
I liked it because it was really funny. The boy and the dad were sending cards back and forth. I liked it because the boy hated camp but the dad was being really sarcastic and kind of irritating. At the very end I loved it because there was a photo of all the kids and under one of the kids names there was Sean and he looked just like me but without glasses.
duncan/i give this book *** i like the part when he sending post cards to his dad about how much he dose not like the camp or bad thngs that happen at camp and he wants to come back next year
